Christ on the cross for Bush!
This is not surprising. This is the man who prays prone on the oval office floor and then has military men and women praying regularly for Him. Evenn though they should be trussing up Iraqis instead of praying. Okay, not trussing them up. Shooting them. Oh, drat. No, that's not what I meant, I meant packing up and coming home.
